The 1.7 in that URL indicates that you are running version 1.7.x of
R.  The current release is 1.8.1.  It may help to upgrade to the
current release.

You should be able to install that package with

install.packages("ade4")

when running on a computer connected to the internet.  The Windows and
Mac OS X gui versions of R have a menu-bar selection that makes this a
bit easier (see the "Packages" menu).
